| Publisher Description: Terry Hermsen�s new book ranges from bicycles to baseball, children to elders, Ohio rivers to the Strait of Magellan, offering �words like stepping stones� that lead us into a world gone deep and strange, redolent with memory, association, and feeling. Hermsen�s mindful attention�intense yet delicate�yields crafty, loamy poems in forms from sonnets to shaped poems to riddles. The surprises�of language, imagery, and insight�are many, and the rewards are rich. --Jeff Gundy, author of Abandoned Homeland |
